Talk:Jeffrey D. Sadow

Washington Post?

The article had in it a claim that the Washington Post had named Sadow's blog as one of the 'Best Political Blogs'. The source for this was Sadow's blog itself, which is not a reliable source for this kind of fact. However, a visit to the relevant Post page here gives a different picture. One section of the Post, 'The Fix', has asked for readers to comment on what they thought were good blogs, and put together, from those comments, what Post corresponent called "our list of the best political blogs in each of the 50 states." There were a lot of sites listed - five for Louisiana alone - and unlike in other states, Sadow's blog did not stand out from others amongst the readers. I think it is way too much of a stretch from here to being endorsed by the Post as a great blog site. It's a site amongst dozens, on a list pulled from reader's emails and twitters. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete?

It's years later and this issue remains unresolved. Moreover, it's ungrammatical as currently presented. The entire article appears to be nothing more than platform building. The guy is noteworthy only in his own mind. Not what Wikipedia is for. Economy1 (talk) 21:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I'd agree. This is obviously a vanity page made by Sadow himself and should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.194.149.48 (talk) 14:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

CV

I have reluctantly deleted a chunk of academic background material. There are three reasons: first, much of it is non-notable - no one cares what courses an academic is teaching, and i doubt there are any sources for it other than his profile on his own uni's server - which doesn't establish notability. Second, the material was plagiarised, in the sense that it did not deviate significantly from the original text - it was close paraphrasing. Third, the subject of the article has come in and edited the section - openly, so i'm not suggesting inappropriate COI, though it would be better for a subject to raise any issues on the talk page rather than editing directly IMHO - but the edits aren't supported by any source. He may 'know' these things to be true, but if they are, how is it even the bio on his own uni's webpage isn't accurate? In light of all this, the material has been removed. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
